: Heating and slow cooling to soften the metal and improve ductility.

Pure metals are rarely used in engineering; instead, we create to enhance properties.

: Occurs when two different metals are in electrical contact in a corrosive environment.

: e.g., Aluminum, Copper (high ductility). HCP (Hexagonal Close-Packed) : e.g., Magnesium, Titanium.

: Reheating quenched steel to trade some hardness for toughness, preventing the part from shattering during use. 4. Mechanical Testing and Properties

: The study of how materials fail under repeated loading cycles over time. 5. Non-Ferrous Alloys

: As liquid metal cools, "nuclei" form and grow into grains . The boundaries where these grains meet (grain boundaries) significantly influence strength. 2. Phase Diagrams and Alloying
